[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 341769, member: 1233"] Sending many hugs. I am so sorry it came out this way. Know that my prayers are with you every step of the way, every single moment. Just for info, there IS a new type of surgery for breast cancer. It creates a pocket much like that used for cosmetic implants. An implant goes into that spot once the cancer is out. There are two types as I can find info today - nipple sparing and skin sparing. Each has limits and benefits. I hope you have some choices and can pick the type of surgery that fits best into your life. Hopefully this is a "once only" occurrence and you only have to cope with this just this one time. Many hugs to both you and your family. I am sure that they will provide lots of support to you. I also hope that your daughter is able to have frequent screenings as a result of this. It is my current understanding that your daughter is at a higher risk, but any offspring of your sons will not have a significantly higher risk, though your daughter's offspring will. I learned this from my docs when I asked because the only relative to have breast cancer was my paternal Gma. My aunt and her daughter and even her son have a higher chance of breast cancer than I do. I don't really understand why her son has a higher risk, but each doctor I have asked says it is so. maybe because aunt's hubby has a history of it on his side? Anyway, I am sure your hubby is in shock, as you are. One day at a time, I am sure you are handling things. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Oh, could you pm me your email addy please? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
